ABSTRACT

The immune effector cell-associated syndrome (ICANS) has been described as the second most frequent specific complication following CAR-T cell therapy. The median time to the onset of neurological symptoms is five days after CAR-T infusion. ICANS can be concomitant to cytokine release syndrome but often follows the resolution of the latter. However, 10 % of patients experience delayed onset after 3 weeks of CAR-T cell infusion. The duration of symptoms is usually short, around five days if an early appropriate treatment is given. Symptoms are heterogeneous, ranging from mild symptoms quickly reversible (alterations of consciousness, deterioration in handwriting) to more serious forms with seizures or even a coma. The ICANS severity is currently based on the ASTCT score. The diagnosis of ICANS is clinical but EEG, MRI and l umbar punction can help ruling out alternative diagnoses. The first line treatment consists of high-dose corticosteroids. During the twelfth edition of practice harmonization workshops of the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC), a working group focused its work on updating the SFGM-TC recommendations on the management of ICANS. In this review we discuss the management of ICANS and other neurological toxicities in patients undergoing of CAR-T cell therapy. These recommendations apply to commercial CAR-T cells, in order to guide strategies for the management neurological complications associated with this new therapeutic approach.
